City Overview

Salzburg, is the capital city of the federal state of Salzburg in Austria. Its name, literally translated into English, means “salt fortress”, a reference to the city’s salt trade in ancient times. Tristar Worldwide is pleased to offer our chauffeur services in the musical city of Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart, and setting for the hit 1965 musical film “The Sound of Music”. However, there is more to be gleaned from Salzburg then just its picturesque, musical setting.

Top 5 Business Tips

- Punctuality is vital: it is imperative you are always on time, as your Austrian counterparts certainly will be. Similarly, schedule meetings well in advance and never cancel at the last minute.

- Austrians have a conservative and formal communication style, which extends to their behaviour. They are extremely polite and courteous, but can also be quite blunt and direct in discussions. This isn’t meant to be rude and is more to do with focusing on matters at hand.

- Meetings are formal affairs and adhere to strict agendas. Details are important and Austrians prefer to have all the facts and a good understanding of the situation before making decisions.

- Hierarchy and status is important in Austria, so it is important to address individuals with their correct titles. The best formula for addressing Austrians is as follows: Herr (for men) or Frau (for women) + Professional Title (if applicable) + Surname. Thus, a male doctor with the surname Franz would be addressed as Herr Doktor Franz. If an individual has more than one professional title, these should also be incorporated, for example: Herr Professor Doktor Franz.

- When greeting people, a firm handshake with good eye contact is acceptable. Shake hands individually with every person (including children, if present). Wait for women to offer their hands first.
